IRAN SAID TUESDAY it has arrested dozens of spies, including several people who passed the country's nuclear secrets to Iran's enemies, the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported.
Intelligence Minister Ali Yunesi did not identify those arrested but said members of the armed opposition group Mujahedeen Khalq, played the main role.
Yunesi also said Iran had arrested an unspecified number of people connected to Osama Ben Laden's Al Qaeda terror network who �intended to carry out terrorist attacks� in Iran. He did not say when they were arrested or provide further details.
Yunesi accused the United States and some European countries of hiring members from groups linked to Al Qaeda and trying to help them infiltrate Iran and carry out sabotage and terrorist operations. He didn't name the European states.
�America controls these groups,� he said.
�We have documents to back these comments and we will make them public at an appropriate time,� IRNA quoted him as saying.
Iran's intelligence chief said Iran was serious in fighting Al Qaeda.
